The beautiful and powerful minister hooked up with the crazy emperor and couldn't escape

"Oh, I said something wrong. Young Master, please don't take it to heart."

Feng Jiuqing glanced at Lin Yu and nodded: "Okay, Ah He won't ask anymore."

Lin Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the young master was simple and did not pursue the matter to the bottom of the matter, otherwise he didn't know how he could have fooled her.

Feng Jiuqing lowered his eyes with a hint of smile on his lips. Mo Ling brought him into the palace, but kept him in the side hall of Xuanshi Palace, and nothing happened.

It seems that Mo Ling regards Ah He as Ming Qing, so he calls him Qing Qing intentionally or unintentionally.

At that palace banquet, Ah He was not allowed to use Ming Qing's name, but now Ah He has been treated as his substitute.

Oh, he never thought of looking for a substitute for Axun back then. Mo Ling was not his Axun after all.

Feng Jiuqing rested alone in the side hall of Xuanshi Palace. He couldn't help but recall that before he retired, he seldom rested in the side hall of Xuanshi Palace. He would only stay in Xuanshi Palace when he was so busy with government affairs that he had no time to breathe.

Compared to the Xuanshi Hall, he liked the Qianyuan Hall more. Unfortunately, the Qianyuan Hall was burned down by a fire and was completely abandoned just like he was in the past.

Feng Jiuqing closed his eyes and thought about the fact that the Ministry of Revenue had already been purged by the furious Mo Ling. Now even the people who remained in the Ministry of Revenue were trembling with fear.

Even if the person behind the scenes still has some contacts in the Ministry of Revenue, they probably wouldn't dare to work for him now. In addition, Bai Yunjin was transferred to the position of Minister of Revenue, so even if they wanted to do something, it wouldn't be that easy.

The culprit who caused the tragedy of Xiao Qizi's family, Minister Yang of the Ministry of Revenue, has been imprisoned and liquidated. Even if his entire clan is not implicated, he will be executed immediately and his family members will be exiled three thousand miles away.

Xiao Qizi's family was avenged, but it was a pity that he retired too early. If he had known this, he should have thoroughly cleaned up the six departments before leaving.

The person behind the scenes was actually able to make a veteran like the Minister of Revenue stand on his side. In addition to the silver mines in Xitai Tower and Suizhou, he should have a lot of silver in his hands, probably not less than the silver seized from Bai Yunjin's property.

He had so much money but had not rebelled for so many years, which only meant that he did not have many soldiers. Of course, he must have had his own private army, but it was estimated that they would not be too many.

It is not easy to raise private soldiers. It is very troublesome for him to raise legitimate imperial soldiers like the Youyun Army, let alone private soldiers like this.

This person must have covered up for Mo Cheng in the beginning, otherwise, with Mo Cheng's intelligence, it would be almost impossible for him to raise 20,000 private soldiers near the capital and frame him for these things.

Therefore, he still suspected the King of Nancheng. Although Nancheng was rich, it did not have many soldiers. Moreover, Xiaocheng and Nancheng were very close. If the King of Nancheng wanted to cover up for him, it would not be particularly difficult.

And with the character and ability of the King of Nancheng, he can indeed play these people around. But why did the King of Nancheng do all this?

Feng Jiuqing could never guess the motives of King Nancheng, but in the current situation, he had lost the Ministry of Revenue's purse, so he could not help but take action.

Moreover, the character Ah He played by him has successfully approached Mo Ling, and they should assign him a task soon. Then he can infer what the person behind the scenes wants to do based on Ah He's task.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, someone sneaked into the Xuanshi Palace. To be precise, it was not a sneaking in, but an open entry, because the person who came to meet Feng Jiuqing was originally a palace servant of the Xuanshi Palace.

Feng Jiuqing had seen him during the day. When he and Mo Ling were having dinner, this man was standing not far away, with the other palace servants, and did not stand out.

"Young Master, here's what you want."

The voice was hoarse and unpleasant, definitely not the voice of a normal palace maid. It seemed that this person had deliberately changed his voice.

Feng Jiuqing took the peach pastry and nodded to the man.

After the man left, Feng Jiuqing indeed found a note in the peach cake, with nothing on it.

Feng Jiuqing put the peach cake aside, his hand inadvertently brushed across the lit candle flame, and then he opened it and saw words gradually emerging: Seduce Mo Ling to sleep with him and enter the harem.

It seems that these people want Ah He to become their concubine. Mo Ling's goal happens to be similar to theirs. In this case, he will help them.

However, what benefits can Ah He bring to them by entering the harem?

To whisper in Mo Ling's ear?

Or is Ah He also a Gu person? As long as Mo Ling sleeps with him, he can be controlled by them?

It's possible. After all, the poisoner who seduced him at the beginning also knows the art of charm.

Or maybe they wanted to take action against Mo Ling, and then use Ah He's status as concubine to rule the country from behind the scenes when Mo Ling became terminally ill?

It was a good plan. However, before the Grand Master retired, they could control Da Yue as long as they could control Mo Ling. But now that he is in the court, it is not so easy to control Da Yue.

If his guess was correct, the first step after Ah He gained a foothold in the harem would probably be to take action against him.

Even if they cannot capture him, they will try every means to make him retire again. Only when he is not in the court can these people take advantage of the opportunity.

It's not a big problem, he can help them. Not only that, he will also pave the way for them so that the people behind the scenes can show up.

Feng Jiuqing quietly burned the note to ashes, and the next day he woke up as usual as if nothing had happened. Today he was still the same Ah He, but he could be a little bolder today.

The court session ended very quickly today, probably because no one wanted to provoke the emperor.

As soon as Feng Jiuqing finished washing up, Mo Ling returned to Xuanshi Hall to have breakfast with him. Feng Jiuqing blinked his eyes. Fortunately, he was not the emperor. It was more appropriate to let Mo Ling, a bad guy, do this job of getting up earlier than the chickens and going to bed later than the dogs.

This time he saw that Mo Ling not only didn't cry, but also moved a little closer to him.

Mo Ling was obviously a little surprised, but it was always gratifying that Qingqing was willing to get close to him.

Unconsciously, a smile appeared on Mo Ling's lips, and his eyes became more gentle as he looked at Feng Jiuqing.

Feng Jiuqing's cheeks were bulging from eating so much, like a cute little hamster.

Everything seemed to have returned to the past. He would have breakfast with Qingqing every time he came home from court. However, Qingqing ate in a very elegant manner at that time and would not eat in such a childish way.

Perhaps because of the past, Qingqing became more lively than before, and the smile in Mo Ling's eyes became deeper.

In this regard, Feng Jiuqing said that even when acting, one has to fit the character. Ah He is just a simple and timid kid, and it is normal for him to eat like this.

As for Ming Qing's elegant eating style back then, it was only because Mo Ling was a mysophobe. He was afraid that Mo Ling would not be able to accept Feng Jiuqing's wild eating style as he did in the Northern Territory. After all, it was he who had intended to sleep in the first place, so of course he had to cater to Mo Ling's preferences.
